How can we improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “this is my destiny (命运). I cannot change it.”
Certainly not! You don’t have to suffer too much. Your destiny depends on yourself, not on any other factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”? She believes she has tried her best. But in fact she hasn’t.
Remember that you get what you pay. You just don’t sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a little failure, but use it as feedback (反馈). Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively (积极地), you also have to act positively.
If someone’s life is in the trouble, do you just hope that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.

     When our friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us they are in a hurry or
looking at their watches always. It isn't that our friends are all very busy. It is just because we haven't a
TV set. They think that we are very strange.
     But what do you do in the evening? They always ask. The answer is very simple. Both my wife and I
have hobbies. We certainly don't spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and
painting and often has evening classes for foreign languages. This is very useful because we often go to
other countries for our holidays. I collect stamps and I am always busy with my collection. Both of us
enjoy listening to music and playing chess together.
    Sometimes there is power cut and the house is dark. We are not worried because we can just light
candles and chat with each other about what we did before. Our friends are upset at that time because
they don't know what to do without a TV set. On such evenings, our house is always full because my
friends all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television,
everybody talks and plays games.

[     ]
A. seem to be very busy
